Desperation and prayers…

Yesterday we received a call from a very kind elderly man. His story moved us deeply and we hope it will touch your hearts too and we will together help that family.

The man is quite elderly and as he said it himself – he has a granny. But she’s very sick and cancer is just one of her diagnoses… The old woman goes outside only with a companion and her condition is really serious. The only joy for this poor of health but rich in heart woman is going outside once or twice daily – on the stairs in front of her block – and watching the cats she had been taking care of and feeding in her good times… They bring her joy, comfort, a moment of calm and peace after all the pain and hard life. Those furry little and grown up creatures manage to calm the woman and give her something that no medicine could… But when a human is added to the picture, everything falls again in darkness! A neighbor threatened the granny and the cats. He told her he would hurt them if she didn’t stop feeding and taking care of them. And last week he finally realized his threat. One of the cats was beaten to death. Her condition was so serious and fatal that when the elderly man took her to Animo clinic, they had to euthanize her. What made that so called human to do that with such malice, hatred and with no mercy at all? What did the old woman and “her” cats do to him? We don’t think we would be able to ever answer those questions because such behavior, emotions and mentality are incomprehensible to us and not human at all! If the word human cat at all be used anymore for describing something humane…

That misfortunate cat already found peace – undeservedly and before her time. But the rest of the animals are still in real danger and the old man and woman live in fear and desperation. They are afraid to point the person who did that. They feel completely helpless and cornered.

The old man called us because his granny was hardly able to speak after another surgery of her throat and she keeps her strength for going out to the kittens, toddling and leaning on her walking stick… Crying, the man heartily begged us to help at least one of the cat families – a mommy and her 6 kids, about 2 – 3 months old. They are most hated and threatened, he said. There are other cats too, but those are in biggest danger.

Begging us, the old man offered his granny to make us some table – cloths /’She makes them really nice’, he said…/ or to give us some rakia or wine – something to warm the hearts… Hearty people. With hearts long ago warmed that are now burning in sorrow and fear before the unknown future of the “children” they have been taking care of.

If you can help us get this cat family out of there, contact us! Let’s make once more a good deed – this time we are helping not just “some” animals but humans. Real Humans!
